Yep. But Santorum will not make Newt implode. Smart thing for Rick to do if he insists on hanging around - would be to attack Obama and the liberals.
Looks like great night for Newt. Bad for Mitt, bad for Santorum, and who knows for Ron Paul.
If Ron Paul maintains his 20-25% in South Carolina, then I think he goes on to play an important part in the convention. I hope he does.
I won't vote for him, but I would like him to extract some promises on economic concerns from the eventual winner. Paul's foreign policy is loony, but his economics are very good and most FReepers would agree with them -- the state-regulated trade folks excepted, of course.
